Jeremiah 51:1-5
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
51 Thus says the Lord:
I am going to stir up a destructive wind[a]
against Babylon
and against the inhabitants of Leb-qamai,[b](A)
2 and I will send winnowers to Babylon,
and they shall winnow her.
They shall empty her land
when they come against her from every side
on the day of trouble.(B)
3 Let not the archer bend his bow,
and let him not array himself in his coat of mail.
Do not spare her young men;
utterly destroy her entire army.(C)
4 They shall fall down slain in the land of the Chaldeans
and wounded in her streets.
5 Indeed, Israel and Judah have not been forsaken
by their God, the Lord of hosts,
though their land is full of guilt
before the Holy One of Israel.(D)
